Spooks and Audio Description

I was so pleased to discover that you were broadcasting Spooks from series one, especially as you were broadcasting it with the Audio Description soundtrack.

Whilst this feature won't be of much interest to most folks watching the series, for those of us who are blind the AD is a fantastic development which allows us to get so much more out of a programme like Spooks.

I was therefore pretty disappointed tonight to find that the latest two instalments had no AD present.

I'm hoping this has just been some kind of technical oversight, and that the channel will have the feature reinstated for next week, but I'm fearful that you've decided to tease us with eight audio described episodes only to then withdraw it, leaving your blind viewers high and dry!

Please, if its at all possible, can you bring back audio description for the remainder of the Spooks run?

Hi there - thanks for the feedback. We're happy to report that from this Sunday onwards the Spooks episodes will be audio described.
